“When people have belief in something, or a conviction in something, trying to stand for that is a good thing,” Tebow said, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. “It’s all about standing for it the right way.”

When Tebow was in the NFL as a quarterback with the Denver Broncos, he made kneeling famous for an entirely different reason. He would take a knee to celebrate scoring touchdowns and winning games.

Kaepernick, of course, elected to kneel during the national anthem as a form of protest of social and racial injustices.

That decision was made as a collaboration with former Green Beret and Seahawks long snapper Nate Boyer. 49ers safety Eric Reid joined Kaepernick’s protest before the last three games, dating back to the preseason finale in San Diego.
